One of the greatest qualities in any person is a heart of gratitude. Having a grateful heart means that you’re in a state of thankfulness, and being thankful means that you’re conscious of the benefit you have received.
The Bible is filled with Scriptures on gratitude, gratefulness, and thankfulness, because there’s really no way to have a strong relationship with God without having a grateful heart.
But sometimes we can have a hard time remembering that there is always something to be thankful for (like salvation)! That‘s when we need to turn to prayer and the Scriptures (and in some cases, fasting) in order to change our hearts.
